My First Photos

[poliphilo]

These are pictures I took with my very first camera- a Kodak Box Brownie. The year must be 1957 or 58. The grumpy tot is my sister Jenny. I remember our garden in Croydon as being enormous- but clearly it wasn't. It sloped steeply up the side of the valley, to the woods of Croham Hurst at the top. Under the apple tree where my parents and sister are sitting I once watched a dead hawk moth being eaten by ants. The corgi's name was "Becky".

I love your photos so much, I wish I had time to sort through my old photos to post. Eventually I will, and this inspiration will have come from viewing yours. Thank you!

I'm glad you like them.

I'll look forward to seeing yours.

I always thought my cheekbones were from that distant cherokee connection, now i think they may be from Granny Grist. x

Maybe they come from both sides.
